After two years since their last studio album, A Hundred Miles Off—as well as their version of Harry Nillson and John Lennon's Pussy Cats—the Walkmen have announced details of a new record.

While the band previously released music on the Record Collection label, the new album, You and Me, will be released this autumn on Gigantic Music. According to the band's publicist, the writing and recording of You and Me was done over a two-year period, and recorded in two locations , first at Sweet Tea studios in Oxford, Mississippi with engineer John Agnello, and then at their new label's studio in New York with engineer Chris Zane, who the band is quoted as calling a "fucking god-send." The album is reportedly inspired by the likes of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison (what music of the last 50 years isn't in some ways?), and was done live with everything—including vocals—recorded at once.
